Changing goban background on mobile?

[Safari_Atari]

I really have liked the improvements made on the mobile app so far, but I think it would be great if we can also put in our own custom board backgrounds like we do on the regular site. I am not a big fan of the light board that is the only option on mobile right now. Hopefully this isn’t too difficult to do. Hope you see this OGS devs (: Thanks

Now that we support custom board backgrounds, I thought it might be nice to share your favorite boards so others can also try them out. The tutorial on how to change your goban background is here. To keep the thread readable I would suggest: ⬤ Be sensible, and only share backgrounds you really think are nice ⬤ Make the thumbnails small (hover over the preview and chose 50%) ⬤ Share the link to the image in a code field like this - select the link and click the following icon in the top of th…

In fact, it’s important for the OP to clarify what mobile app you are talking about, so that the person best placed to help you knows about your request.

I am aware of these possible things you are talking about:

• “The Android App” - referred to by Groin - called “Sente”
• “The iOS App” - called “Surround”
• OGS own web-client (probably you are not referring to that, because it does support changing the background. Maybe you’d like to use this instead )

There are other less known OGS clients as well.

Bottom line: share what you’re hoping to use, and maybe find the right thread for it for better success.

I am talking about Sente. Is there a dedicated place to message for that app?
